Quantum Resistant Authentication System for Authorizing Private Key Signing

​

Introduction

As quantum computing advances, threatening to dismantle traditional cryptographic safeguards, the necessity for resilient and forward-thinking authentication systems becomes undeniable. This document introduces a quantum-resistant authentication system—a pioneering solution that harmoniously integrates three essential elements: Public Keys for uniquely identifying wallet owners, Private Keys for securely signing and transmitting messages, and a Quantum One-Time Pad (QOTP) fortified by the ENIGMA Cipher System. This hybrid architecture employs entropy-driven rotations within a vibrant, color-coded pad, mapped onto a holographic manifold of hyperplanes, to deliver unmatched security. By leveraging zero-knowledge proofs and quantum-resistant hash functions like SHAKE256, it guarantees that private information remains safeguarded, even against quantum adversaries. Through the example of the private key “LOVE,” we showcase how this system seamlessly blends visual clarity with mathematical precision, providing a secure, verifiable, and user-friendly authentication protocol tailored for the quantum age.

​

Public Keys

Purpose: Uniquely identify the wallet owner, serving as a public identifier for authentication.

• Think of the public key as your digital signature. It lets others recognize you without sharing your personal details, fostering trust and openness in every exchange.

​

Private Keys

Purpose: Enable the wallet owner to sign and send messages securely, protecting confidentiality.

Quantum One–Time Pad (QOTP) and ENIGMA Cipher Integration

The QOTP is a 40-character sequence derived from a comprehensive alphabet:

• A–Z (26 characters)
• 0–9 (10 characters)
• 艾勒, 哦, 维, 衣 (4 symbols)

Each character’s color is dynamically determined by its position in an entropy-driven, rotating pad, which aligns with the ENIGMA Cipher’s hyperplane mapping. This mapping associates colors with specific bearing directions, ensuring a visually intuitive and cryptographically secure framework:

• Red → UP
• Green → DOWN
• Blue → LEFT
• Yellow → RIGHT

Initial Pad Sequence (Visual Representation):

• The QOTP’s entropy-driven rotation assigns colors to characters based on their position in the pad, which is synchronized with ENIGMA’s hyperplane mapping. This dual-system approach ensures quantum resistance by leveraging dynamic, unpredictable rotations and a private, static mapping, making it computationally infeasible for adversaries to predict or reverse-engineer the sequence.

​

Integrated QOTP and ENIGMA Operation: Example with “LOVE”

The QOTP and ENIGMA systems collaborate to provide secure, zero-knowledge authentication. The private key $\Omega$ is LOVE, split into subkeys $\Omega_i$ and mapped to hyperplanes via entropy-derived rotations. This example demonstrates how the systems integrate visual clarity with cryptographic rigor.

​

Step 1: Universal Language ($\Lambda$)

• The universal language $\Lambda$ comprises 40 distinct symbols, forming a comprehensive alphabet for both QOTP and ENIGMA. This diverse set ensures a large keyspace, enhancing cryptographic strength by maximizing the possible combinations for subkeys and mappings.

​

Step 2: Private Key ($\Omega$) and Subkeys ($\Omega_i$)

The private key $\Omega$ is a sequence of characters selected from the universal language $\Lambda$, allowing for potential repetitions. In this example, we use the key “LOVE” to illustrate the integration of QOTP and ENIGMA systems:

This private key is split into individual subkeys $\Omega_i$, each corresponding to a character in the sequence, and mapped to specific positions in the QOTP pad and ENIGMA hyperplanes:

• The private key $\Omega$ is an ordered sequence of subkeys $\Omega_i$, each drawn from $\Lambda$. In the QOTP system, each subkey’s position in the entropy-rotated pad determines its color and initial grouping, while in the ENIGMA system, these subkeys are located within specific hyperplanes ($\Gamma_i$) during each round of the $\Sigma$-Interactive Protocol. The term “position” refers to the character’s location in the QOTP pad sequence, which influences its hyperplane assignment in ENIGMA. For example, $\mathrm{L}$ at position 11 falls into the yellow hyperplane ($\Gamma_1$), mapped to RIGHT via $\Psi$. This dual-system approach ensures that each subkey’s cryptographic role is dynamically determined by entropy-based rotations and securely mapped within the holographic manifold, enhancing both visual clarity and quantum-resistant security.

​

Step 3: Secret Synonym Mapping ($\Psi$)

Mapping hyperplanes to bearing directions (aligned with QOTP colors):

• $\Gamma_1$ (Yellow) → $\Xi_1$ (RIGHT)
• $\Gamma_2$ (Green) → $\Xi_2$ (DOWN)
• $\Gamma_3$ (Blue) → $\Xi_3$ (LEFT)
• $\Gamma_4$ (Red) → $\Xi_4$ (UP)

• The mapping $\Psi$ is a static, private function that associates each hyperplane $\Gamma_i$ with a bearing direction $\Xi_i$, known only to the observer. This mapping aligns with the QOTP’s color-coded system, ensuring that each subkey’s direction is both visually intuitive and cryptographically secure, maintaining zero-knowledge properties.

​

Step 4: Commitment ($\Gamma$)

Combined as:

• The commitment $\Gamma$ binds the private key $\Omega$ and the hashed mapping $H(\Psi)$ using a quantum-resistant hash function $H$ (e.g., SHAKE256). The $\parallel$ operator denotes concatenation, ensuring that any alteration to $\Omega$ or $\Psi$ invalidates $\Gamma$, providing integrity and authenticity.

​

Step 5: Möbius Rotation and $\Sigma$-Interactive Protocol with “LOVE”

The QOTP pad rotates based on entropy-derived offsets, and each subkey $\Omega_i$ is located within a hyperplane $\Gamma_j$, mapped to a witness $\Xi_j$ via $\Psi$. The following rounds illustrate how QOTP’s visual rotations integrate with ENIGMA’s rigorous protocol steps, ensuring secure authentication.

​

Round 1 (Initial Pad, $\Omega_1 = \mathrm{L}$)

Grouping (Entropy Offset 0):

• Red (UP): A, E, I, M, Q, U, Y, 2, 6, 艾勒
• Green (DOWN): B, F, J, N, R, V, Z, 3, 7, 哦
• Blue (LEFT): C, G, K, O, S, W, 0, 4, 8, 维
• Yellow (RIGHT): D, H, L, P, T, X, 1, 5, 9, 衣 Locate $\Omega_1 = \mathrm{L}$: Found in $\Gamma_1$ (Yellow).
  Witness: $\Psi(\Gamma_1) = \Xi_1$ → RIGHT.
  Commitment:

Result: L → RIGHT.

• The initial pad groups characters by color, with $\mathrm{L}$ located in the yellow hyperplane ($\Gamma_1$). The mapping $\Psi$ assigns the direction RIGHT, and the commitment hashes $\mathrm{L}$, RIGHT, and a nonce $r_1$, ensuring secure, verifiable authentication.

​

Round 2 (Rotation by Offset 4, $\Omega_2 = \mathrm{O}$)

New Grouping:

• Red (UP): E, I, M, Q, U, Y, 2, 6, 艾勒, A
• Green (DOWN): F, J, N, R, V, Z, 3, 7, 哦, B
• Blue (LEFT): G, K, O, S, W, 0, 4, 8, 维, C
• Yellow (RIGHT): H, L, P, T, X, 1, 5, 9, 衣, D Locate $\Omega_2 = \mathrm{O}$: Found in $\Gamma_3$ (Blue).
  Witness: $\Psi(\Gamma_3) = \Xi_3$ → LEFT.
  Commitment:

Result: O → LEFT.

• After a 4-position offset, $\mathrm{O}$ shifts to the blue hyperplane ($\Gamma_3$), mapped to LEFT. The commitment hashes $\mathrm{O}$, LEFT, and $r_2$, maintaining zero-knowledge security through dynamic rotation.

​

Round 3 (Rotation by Offset 8, $\Omega_3 = \mathrm{V}$)

New Grouping:

• Red (UP): I, M, Q, U, Y, 2, 6, 艾勒, A, E
• Green (DOWN): J, N, R, V, Z, 3, 7, 哦, B, F
• Blue (LEFT): K, O, S, W, 0, 4, 8, 维, C, G
• Yellow (RIGHT): L, P, T, X, 1, 5, 9, 衣, D, H Locate $\Omega_3 = \mathrm{V}$: Found in $\Gamma_2$ (Green).
  Witness: $\Psi(\Gamma_2) = \Xi_2$ → DOWN.
  Commitment:

Result: V → DOWN.

• An 8-position offset places $\mathrm{V}$ in the green hyperplane ($\Gamma_2$), mapped to DOWN. The commitment hashes $\mathrm{V}$, DOWN, and $r_3$, ensuring the integrity of the authentication process.

​

Round 4 (Rotation by Offset 12, $\Omega_4 = \mathrm{E}$)

New Grouping:

• Red (UP): M, Q, U, Y, 2, 6, 艾勒, A, E, I
• Green (DOWN): N, R, V, Z, 3, 7, 哦, B, F, J
• Blue (LEFT): O, S, W, 0, 4, 8, 维, C, G, K
• Yellow (RIGHT): P, T, X, 1, 5, 9, 衣, D, H, L Locate $\Omega_4 = \mathrm{E}$: Found in $\Gamma_4$ (Red).
  Witness: $\Psi(\Gamma_4) = \Xi_4$ → UP.
  Commitment:

Result: E → UP.

• A 12-position offset shifts $\mathrm{E}$ to the red hyperplane ($\Gamma_4$), mapped to UP. The commitment hashes $\mathrm{E}$, UP, and $r_4$, completing the secure mapping for “LOVE”.

​

Step 6: Final Witness Sequence for “LOVE”

• The final witness sequence $\Xi$ encapsulates the bearing directions for each subkey, derived from the hyperplane mappings and QOTP rotations. This sequence is visually represented with color-coded characters and direction icons, ensuring clarity and alignment with the cryptographic process.

​

Step 7: Verification

The verifier confirms each response using the commitments and witnesses, ensuring zero-knowledge properties via:

• The verification function $\Theta$ evaluates the commitments $\text{Comm}_i$, challenges $e_i$, and responses $s_i$ for each round, leveraging zero-knowledge proof principles. This ensures that the observer’s knowledge of $\Omega_i$ and $\Psi$ remains confidential, with no leakage of sensitive information, even under quantum attacks.
